Hi parents,
What an amazing weekend we just had! With so much that happened I feel the need to give you a quick debrief!
Man Camp
We couldn’t have asked for a better time. The boys participated in leadership exercises, verse memorization and manly games. They heard 3 incredible sermons on manhood by James Scott followed by time in small groups. They even got to spend 2 hours alone in guided prayer with no distractions. Did they do push ups? Absolutely. But they did it together and came out better for it.
Women’s Weekend
The girls had a great time with fun games and crafts. They all came back raving about the incredible food that many of you provided. They also sat under the teaching of Megan Barbour, Tracy Dodson and Lissy Bolt. The girls were challenged to live and interact differently with authorities, friends and boys in their life in light of what the scriptures say.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
This Wednesday we finish our series titled, “Love Is” by studying 1 Cor 13:13 which emphasizes the importance of love above all else. Last week we studied the enduring nature of love that Paul explained through 3 illustrations. This has been a great study and I pray that your students have grown in their love for God and others through it. Here are some questions to ask your student on the drive home:
Why would love be greater than faith and hope?
What are your main takeaways from the entire chapter?
Have you seen a change in your life in response to this study?
SUNDAY MORNING
This Sunday, we start a new teaching series titled “A Guide to Growth”. We will spend the next 6 Sundays (not including Easter) to study the means by which God intends for Christians to grow in Christlikeness. I will begin our time this Sunday by discussing what TRUE GROWTH really is. I will be followed by many of our HS staff guys who will teach on topics such as scripture, prayer, fellowship, obedience, etc. in the coming weeks.
CAMPUS MINISTRY
We are so thankful for the way the Lord is working through our campus ministry. Please pray that many students would connect from Campus Rev to our high school ministry on Wednesday nights. This week we continue our teaching in the book of James, specifically looking at the tongue in chapter 3.
